Heh i can definitely see im improving a bit between this batch of comms post and my last post. Smh remembering to post everywhere is difficult. WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT?
With all the brouhaha surrounding Avast and their data gathering fiasco, I’ve decided to stop my subscription for AVG* Android, and switched over to Sophos Intercept Xinstead.
I don’t use many of AVG’s premium features anyways, and Sophos Intercept X is totally free; I can’t even find a way to “upgrade” it to a premium version.
i got no response on reddit, hoping someone here can direct me to a better place to ask or will actually know how to do this
Emergency button: is there a way to use my Android phone to revoke the device access from my google accounts, for all accounts and devices other than my phone, in one button? like a coded widget or shortcut button or something, that’s a one-touch emergency thing.
I haveAndroid version 10 and Nova launcher pro. My family are foul, so I would like to have an option to quickly remove all device access, which will sign out all my accounts everywhere, so that nobody can delete my stuff or ruin my data even if they have my password.
I have a Chromebook that only needs a password unless you actually do the log out every single time you walk away from it. I really don’t want to screw around with that in my everyday life. And my family are cunts, so I really need to be able to secure access from anywhere, should they force me out or try forced hospitalisation again. Or just steal my stuff and get some tech to break in.
What I’m talking about here is an emergency button, like say the cops are forcing you to go somewhere because your family filed a false report against you. You do not want to leave any device with any account access behind. It is tedious to go through every account and remove them all manually, one by one, from every device, through the Google dashboard.
I would like a way to automate that. I have an emergency lockdown for my phone itself, and I’d think you can revoke everything but the device you’re actually on, so leaving my phone with access is fine. If I could have the option to revoke everything, that’d be good too.
I know there’s shortcuts in the Nova launcher, but nothing like this. All I’m getting from searching is stuff about doing it manually from the dashboard.
I have Titan keys, but the problem is still that I need to revoke access of other accounts and to other devices fast. Keys protect nothing when you’re already signed in. Neither do prompts or any other two factor. I can’t settle for signing out, because that can be gotten around if family have my password. I’ve suspected they put a camera somewhere.
I don’t think what you’re asking for is possible without a lot of coding experience, especially if the control device is an Android device rather than the actual PC. I did spend my morning researching this and found some options that might be helpful - if any of my followers have better ideas, please add them! And I apologize if this isn’t what you’re looking for or you’ve already tried these
Check for a Keylogger
You mentioned they may have “put a camera somewhere.” I don’t know how technically savvy your family is, but it’s possible a shared computer has a keylogger installed or physically in the usb port. There’s no definitive way to find them all outside of malware detection software, looking through Task Manager, and other basic security review.
2FA
You said you “can’t settle for signing out, because that can be gotten around if family [has your] password” - I’m not clear what you mean by this since you imply you’re already using 2FA and Titan Keys. If you sign out and you have 2FA, how can they sign back in even with your password?
If your current number is compromised, you can make a new account and open a new Google Voice number as your backup. There are 2FA options like Google Authenticator which lets you to do this offline, as well as other 2FA apps, some with more thorough backup options likeAuthenticator Pro. Though given that you already have Titan Keys, you may have already attempted these
Checking Third Party Permissions
I know some parents like to install apps without their child’s knowledge - it might be good to routinely check which apps have what permissions to your account. You can do that by looking at yourLinked Accounts and yourPermissions
In your case, I would play it safe and ensure that, within Permissions, your Google Account sign-in prompts toggle is OFF:
Shortcut to Devices
This is the closest thing I could find to what I think you’re asking for - while I don’t think a single-push, auto-revoke-access-except-for-this-device widget is possible, you can create shortcuts to websites, apps, activities, etc. Here’s one app for shortcuts, but there are many others.
Again, something you can play around with, but some shortcuts that you might want instant access to:
Your Devices - This shows where you’re currently logged in. Clicking More Details of any device should prompt the following - it might be possible to make a shortcut directly to these pages or even directly to the Sign out page:
Change Password-This is a bit harder because I can’t verify that there’s a direct “Change Password” link, so what I posted here may not work
Recent Gmail Activity - Don’t know how useful this would be, but Bottom Right Corner Desktop Gmail > Click Details> Table of most recent times gmail was accessed, including access type, IP address, and date/time.
Tasker/Automate Apps
If I find anything, I’ll update this later, but it FEELS like you should be able to secure your devices remotely via automation. Being on Android 10 might be an issue, since we haven’t unpacked all the major and minor changes made to the system yet.
I’m sorry you have to go through so many hoops to protect yourself. I hope you (or anyone reading this) finds something in this that helps.
Thanks! I’ll look into all this. For the stuff about getting into my computer even when I’m signed out, I have a Chromebook, and if you turn off the wifi then try to sign in, it does not ask for any two factor authentication. You can just get in then turn the wifi back on. Full access. The only way to stop this is to revoke device access to your account. Security stuff is meant to prevent fishing, not meant to prevent physical attacks.
I don’t think there are keyloggers, because it’s Google tech. I’ve done physical things not involving tech and my family somehow knew. Like that I was looking at the streaks of mold in the bathroom.
I was afraid this stuff would need heavy coding to accomplish. If I have a button to go to the website, then I don’t see why it can’t also navigate that site for me and click stuff? Isn’t that what buying bots do to purchase stuff real fast? Is this what you meant with Tasker?
I looked into that Chromebook issue and what a trash way to go on google’s part. Apparently Chromebook is treated as a Trusted Device once you use 2FA one time, and doesn’t require it after AND the disable wifi thing is a documented and accepted vulnerability. Here’s a potential fix:
Revoke all trusted devices - on the 2FA page, scroll to the bottom to Devices you trust and click Revoke All. This *should* force all your devices to require 2FA no matter what. While you’re on that page, make sure you have other offline verification methods set up.
On your Chromebook, open Settings>People>Manage other People. De-select the option “Show usernames and photos on the sign-in screen.”
I highly recommend you implement these gradually, doing it all at once can backfire, make you remember things wrong, or lead to app-caused glitches you can’t immediately identify.
> If I have a button to go to the website, then I don’t see why it can’t also navigate that site for me and click stuff? Isn’t that what buying bots do to purchase stuff real fast? Is this what you meant with Tasker?
I’m not versed in coding, I don’t know anything about bots, and I’m new to Tasker, which is why I didn’t want to suggest/link it right away. If you want to jump straight to that, then:

Brother of famous drug lord, Pablo Escobar, Roberto Escobar has unveiled a new smartphone with flexible screen and stainless steel case. The Escobar Fold One smartphone, was claimed to be developed as a bid to rival Apple technology.
Similarly to other android phones released this year, the new fold phone has a screen, which uses the android operating system, allows the phone to be used like a tablet. Escobar claimed the phone is completely indestructible.
‘Roberto Escobar, just like his brother Pablo, has always wanted the best,’ said Olof Gustafsson, CEO of Escobar Inc.
“They have always been very innovative people,’ he said. ‘We believe we can beat Apple and now we will see soon.’
The gold folding smartphone has gained a lot of attention regarding the ‘raunchy’ marketing campaign. Wearing lingerie, and sometimes nothing at all, the models pose with the Escobar Fold One showcasing the phone’s folding technology.
Samsung made clear that the foldable technology is beneficial because ‘When it is open, it is a tablet offering a big-screen experience. When closed, it’s a phone that fits neatly inside your pocket,’ said Samsung Mobile Product Marketing Senior Vice President, Justin Denison.
To make this technology, a transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is used, and in-between them are two thin films of organic material between two electrodes. To make the conductive material transparent as well, the industry often use indium tin oxide (ITO).
An analysis last year from BCC Research indicates that the global market for flexible OLED displays more than doubled from 2016 to 2017, now topping two billion dollars. It expects the flexible display market, specifically, to quadruple over by 2022.
